Shirin Shahr (Persian: شیرین شهر) is a new planned city in Soveyseh District of Karun County, Khuzestan province, Iran. It is intended to house the personnel of the sugar industry in the area. The name Shirin Shahr translates as "sweet city" in English.[2][3]

After the National Census of 2011, Kut-e Abdollah Rural District and Soveyseh Rural District were separated from the Central District of Ahvaz County in the establishment of Karun County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Kut-e Abdollah as its capital and only city.[4]
